Sam Austin

I am a hardworking and reliable individual with a strong interest in practical, hands-on roles within warehouse operations and fencing. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to safety and efficiency, I thrive in physically active environments where teamwork and precision are essential. I have experience using hand and power tools, and I am confident in my ability to follow instructions, meet deadlines, and maintain high standards of quality.

In warehouse settings, I am comfortable with tasks such as picking, packing, stock control, and operating equipment like pallet trucks. In fencing, I am eager to develop skills in measuring, cutting, and installing various types of fencing, including wood, metal, and chain-link. I am physically fit, punctual, and always ready to learn new techniques to improve my performance.

Currently seeking an opportunity in warehouse or fencing, available to start immediately and willing to take any necessary training.
